Avengers: Doomsday’s Cast Announcement Brings Back More Than One MCU Character Last Seen In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever
Three Black Panther Characters Are Confirmed To Return In Avengers: Doomsday
Tenoch Huerta and Letitia Wright were two of the earliest actor announcements in Marvel Studios’Avengers: Doomsdaylive cast event.Winston Duke was also confirmed to appear inAvengers: Doomsday, rounding outBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever’s three contributions to the upcoming crossover movie’s cast.Tenoch Huerta’s Namor the Submariner, Letitia Wright’s Shuri, and Winston Duke’s M’Baku will likely represent the formerly hidden kingdoms of Wakanda and Talokan, which might play an essential role in Earth’s defenses against Doctor Doom.
Avengers: Doomsday’s Cast Confirmations Makes The Deal Between Shuri & Namor At The End Of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever Important In A Major Way
Shuri And Namor’s Peace Deal Will Likely Make Wakanda And Talokan Earth’s Protectors
Without a doubt, Tenoch Huerta’s Namor and Letitia Wright’s Shuri will be key characters inAvengers: Doomsday’s plot, as they made a peace agreement between Talokan and Wakanda inBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever’s ending. In hindsight, this agreement may be a huge advantage for the Avengers and the entire world.Together, Talokan and Wakanda could create an unparalleled defense system capable of fending off Doctor Doom, or at least provide the world with the necessary weapons and resources to avoid another attack on the level of Thanos’s Snap.
Previously, Earth was caught off-guard by Thanos inAvengers: Infinity War. The Avengers' disbandment inCaptain America: Civil Warmade them vulnerable to Thanos and the Black Order, and Wakanda wasn’t able to prepare a strategy in time for Thanos' invasion. Following the events ofBlack Panther: Wakanda Forever, Namor and Shuri may already be one step ahead of any supervillain’s attack, not only with the help of two of the best armies on Earth, but also with highly advanced technology and weapons that could turn the tide against Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.
